From the inaugural season of the British Saloon Car Championship back in 1958 right through until the 1990 BTCC season, the series ran to a multi-class format – with as many as five different classes racing together – and each class scoring points towards the championship.
As drivers scored points in their class, it meant that the driver with the most overall wins might not win the title as a driver may have had more success in a smaller class – as was seen multiple times through the years.
This list has been compiled based on class wins through the years to take into account the years 1958-1990, and also includes Production Class wins from the early 2000s. It does NOT include Independent or Jack Sears Trophy class wins from 1991 onwards when the series has been running to a two-litre formula.
The following key applies:
* – denotes driver only secured class wins and did not win a race overall
** – denotes driver has a combination of overall and class wins
(F) – denotes female driver
